Founded in 1890 and currently enjoying the most successful period in the club’s history, we are proud to be part of the Brackley community, priding ourselves on our family-friendly environment and ethos; values that Kevin Wilkin, his management team and his players fully embody.
We also believe that we are much more than a football club: we are at the heart of our community and we have both the responsibility and platform to help people feel better whether that is through our award-winning community scheme, our over-50s Walking Football or one of our many junior teams for both girls and boys.
We believe that all local businesses – large and small – can benefit from working with us. We have a growing social media presence and ever-increasing attendances at our home games and we have brought together a series of sponsorship and commercial opportunities in this leaflet that we believe will help your business further raise its profile.

historyour
It is not every year that a club can announce that it will be playing at Wembley but this year – for the first time in our 128-year history – Brackley Town Football Club will be playing at the world’s most famous stadium in the final of the FA Trophy, the pre-eminent cup competition for non-league teams in England.
It is a remarkable achievement for a club that up until 1977 was playing in the North Bucks League.
Founded in 1890, the club spent most of its first 100 years playing in local leagues. Over the past 20 years, the club has moved through the division and is now playing in the Vanarama National North Division where we face ex-league teams like York City, Stockport County, Boston United, Southport and Kidderminster as well as other high-profile teams like Salford and FC United of Manchester. This season we are guaranteed – at worst – a play-off place and potentially promotion to the National League.
And we have enjoyed some great runs in the FA Cup over the past few years reaching the second round in 2013/14 and 2016/17 overcoming league opposition in both years.

The Saints Community Program – a multi-award-winning program that was set up in 2015. The Saints Community Program is there to support local residents who may feel isolated and alone. We help elderly folk, people with learning difficulties and those experiencing mental health problems.
Every Wednesday, up to 100 local residents enjoy the hospitality and companionship of the club and are offered free coffee, entertainment and a heavily subsidised lunch. The club offers a wide-range of entertainments from Days Out to A Day at the Races to the Proms and the annual treat the Club’s own Pantomime.
In 2016, the program was recognised by the National League Trust and awarded its Most Innovative Project, further raising our profile locally and nationally.
Our Over-50s Walking Football has also made a major contribution to local life helping men of a certain age carry on playing football and benefiting from the physical and mental well-being that exercise and team sport provide.
Our numerous junior teams give great opportunities to local boys and girls to improve their football skills but also to foster key life skills and values that we believe are critical to their personal development: respect, honesty, team-work, punctuality, endeavour, self-discipline and positivity.
